Quality Control

Our 3-Methyl-3-Hexen-2-Ol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopy (IR, NMR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
